Another New Poll and Allen Gains Another Point

Survey USA conducted another poll this week and Allen gained a point! The Data was Collected 09/26/2006 - 09/28/2006. The polling firm writes

VA Continues to Shrug-Off Comments About Allen's Past: In an election for the United States Senate in Virginia today, 9/29/06, incumbent Republican George Allen maintains an advantage over Democrat challenger James Webb, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively for WUSA-TV Washington DC and WDBJ-TV Roanoke. In a 3-day rolling average of interviews conducted Tuesday 9/26/06 through Thursday 9/28/06, Allen leads Webb, 50% to 44%. On 9/27/06, SurveyUSA released poll results based on interviews conducted Sunday 9/24/06 through Tuesday 9/26/06, which showed Allen ahead 49% to 44%.

The smear campaign from the left is failing. With Survey USA releasing two polls this week and both show Allen gaining points. The above numbers are from a 3 day average poll. Rumor has it that Mason Dixon has the race tied at 43. I would question that for sure. I am on record saying Rasmussen is the best while others have said Survey USA was very accurate in Virginia last year. If nothing else Survey USA polled the heck out of people this week. Allen supporters should be working hard till election day. We should work like Mason Dixon is correct!

UPDATE-Mason Dixon has the poll tied at 43. The above poll is the latest to come out with polling done on the 28th.

The Pattern of Jim Webb's Writing

I want to add toWise Girl's post here. There is a constant pattern in the writing of Jim Webb that cant be denied. John Hawkins has this amazing collection ofJim Webb's lines here. Webb has some unique thoughts on women and black people. These are Jim Webb's words. He thought about this before writing it and it is very revealing. The pattern is there. Jim Webb is not Senate material.

Women Can't Fight? Guess No One Asked Kilo!

I'm beginning to think that Kilo enjoys me more when I am riled up cause he is the instigator that keeps sending me to sites about Jim Webb that really get me wound up. Today he had me visit this new site because he wanted a womans opinion. OK, many of my words are not suitable for printing so instead I am going to let you decide how you feel about. Look here, and when you finish with this start up page please visit the Writingpage and make your own opinions there. I know that when I was taking writing classes they pounded into my head that you should write what you know. I have not read any of Webbs novels but this site shows that there is a pattern to his writing style about his women characters. This raises questions in my mind but you decide. Now check out theWebb Against Women part of this site and you will have a better picture of the women who are coming forward about the improper treatment that was handed out because of Webb and his defaming of the female character. There is a great video under the Watch tab. When you think you have had enough then I ask that please continue on to this new video. I don't know about you but as a woman I would have a hard time believing that some one who wrote: “Many women appear to be having problems with their sexuality…What kind of woman would seek out the Academy routine?” (pg. 282, “Women Can’t Fight,” Washingtonian Magazine, November 1979) or "No benefit to anyone can come from women serving in combat... Their presence at institutions dedicated to the preparation of men for combat is poisoning that preparation"Washingtonian Magazine, November 1979 or spoke the much later quote "I have never met a woman... whom I would trust" to lead men in the military? (The Hotline,3/29/06) -can actually have a change of heart when something appears to be as ingrained as this sexist behavior and pattern of writingimplies but you decide for yourself. Me, I think I am gonna go take out my frustrations on the first thing I see. Oh Kilo, wanna fight?

Jim Webb goes Hunting in Watts

Webb's comments to the Times-Dispatch prompted Allen campaign officials to direct a reporter to Dan Cragg, a former acquaintance of Webb's, who said Webb used the word while describing his own behavior during his freshman year at the University of Southern California in the early 1960s. Webb later transferred to the U.S. Naval Academy.

Cragg, 67, who lives in Fairfax County, said on Wednesday that Webb described taking drives through the black neighborhood of Watts, where he and members of his ROTC unit used racial epithets and pointed fake guns at blacks to scare them.

"They would hop into their cars, and would go down to Watts with these buddies of his," Cragg said Webb told him. "They would take the rifles down there. They would call then [epithets], point the rifles at them, pull the triggers and then drive off laughing. One night, some guys caught them and beat . . . them. And that was the end of that."

Cragg said Webb told him the Watts story during a 1983 interview for a Vietnam veterans magazine. Cragg, who described himself as a Republican who would vote for Allen, did not include the story in his article. He provided a transcript of the interview, but the transcript does not contain the ROTC story. He said he still remembers the exchange vividly more than 20 years later.(Bold print by Kilo)

We all expect this reply.

Webb, who is in Texas for fundraising events, did not respond to repeated requests for comment. (Bold print by Kilo)

Unlike Larry Sabato, Cragg heard Webb use the N word first hand.

"The fact is he has. He used it in my presence," Cragg said.

Cragg, a former Army sergeant major, described himself as a longtime friend of Webb's who worked for him when he was assistant secretary of defense under President Ronald Reagan.

This man does not call Webb a racist. He read what Webb said about not using racial slurs and that was a lie. Here we have Webb not only using racial slurs , but pointing guns at black people. Intimidating terror on innocent people. After reading Webb's macho manifest in Born Fighting, this fits his character. Mr Cragg is a vet and a writer for a Vietnam vet magazine. Unlike the Webb campaign attack on Sen Allen, he is clear in his motives. Don't be fooled by the attack on Allen.Reading this post will clear it up for you. It was an organized attack. Now we can only wait to see who comes out next.

UPDATE-Notice that Webb or mouthpiece Denney Todd do not deny using the Byrd Word. Also check out the double standard the lefty bloggers are setting. After they all jumped on the use of the Byrd Word, they now have a different view when faced with the reality of Jim Webb.

New Poll

49% Allen (R)

44% Webb (D)

2% Parker (IG)

0% Other

4% Undecided

Since an identical SurveyUSA poll 2 weeks ago, Allen is up 1 point and Webb is down 1 point. (LINK)

This poll was conducted after the smear campaign against Sen Allen started and he gains a point! I bet the resignation watch has stopped. Likewise I bet the withdrawal watch is over. That looks kinda stupid when Sen Allen is leading by 5. There is nothing like a good set of numbers to sober up the left. I wish I could say the race will now focus on real issues that matter to Virginia. It wont happen. Other than Jim Webb wanting to cut and run in Iraq he does not have much to say. If nothing else this poll shows that Virginians are not buying into the smear attack. Alton has some inside info that some democrats are not happy with the Webb campaign. The A Team spanks the smear tactic hard.

In other news...Gas in Wise is $2.11. What about that stock market! Coal is booming! What are Jim Webb's thoughts about this? We will never know.

More Connections

This is Capitol Hill Blue's Doug Thompson -- who recently did a story called "George Allen's rampant racism: A long, sordid history" The picture shows him and his “old friend” Steve Jarding from Jim Webb's campaign. Very interesting relationship indeed. Lets read what Doug posts:

Road trip

Three a.m. Dark. Pitch black. I notice a fresh batch of leaves on the driveway illuminated by the headlights as I head the Liberty down the driveway and make the right turn onto Sandy Flats road.

Time for the annual trip to Washington. A four-and-a-half hour drive, if all goes well, from the peace and serenity of the mountains to the madness of the National Capital Region.

Each year at this time I make the trek to DC for an appearance at The Washington Center for Politics and Journalism. Terry Michael, who runs the program, is an old friend as is Steve Jarding, an "adjunct lecturer in public policy" for the Kennedy School at Harvard who also ran Mark Warner's successful campaign for governor a few years back. Steve and I have been doing this road show for the center to talk about political campaign management to a group of interns for Washington-based media and news organizations with bureaus in the city.

Jim Webb ducks the question on racial slurs.

Now get this answer.....

Democratic Senate challenger Jim Webb declined to say definitively Tuesday whether he had ever used a common derogatory term to describe blacks, stepping carefully after watching his campaign rival confront charges of racism.

"I don't think that there's anyone who grew up around the South that hasn't had the word pass through their lips at one time or another in their life," Webb told reporters.

There it is from the donkeys mouth. No rumors, no anonymous sources, just the facts. I am sure there will be more on this in the future.

George Allen Honored by NFIB

The National Federation of Independent Business, the nation's leading small-business advocacy group, today named U.S. Sen. George Allen (Va.) a Guardian of Small Business for his outstanding voting record on behalf of America's small-business owners in the 109th Congress.

NFIB President and CEO Todd Stottlemyer praised Sen. Allen for "standing for small business," citing Allen's 100 percent NFIB voting record. In presenting the group's coveted "Guardian of Small Business" award, Stottlemyer said, "Small-business owners pay close attention to how their lawmakers vote on the issues affecting their businesses and employees and stand by those who stand for them."(LINK)
